Old Chinese-inspired conlangs

"Chinese gone Altaic"

Inspired by Türiŋit

Ah! serkets lhüügömüd tamõŋ rembi;
Taaŋ, põltõn dzurbõŋõts khiredimsüb;
[...]
Äräitüd! Kholurtud Valimarõm!
Jõnũlõm kholurtud! Äräitüd!

"Chinese gone Elvish"

Inspired by IlL's Talman Swutsim

*ʔaʔ tsˁe srek Cə.lˁəʔ ɬugs t.mˁa r.meʔ -> a ci sσech dlV σucs thəba σvə

Mutations:

  • Lenition from prepositions ending with a vowel: tsˁe srek -> ci σech
  • Devoicing/provection from prepositions ending with a stop: Cə.lˁəʔ srek -> dlV sσech
  • Nasalization from prepositions ending with a nasal: troŋ srek -> ξu nξech

Heavy compounding followed by semantic drift (so verbs can end with things that historically were noun markers etc.)

Riffs on real world languages

  • Polysynthetic quasi-Mandarin with Slavic morphology
  • Analytic quasi-German with Cantonese tones
  • Polish/Khmer hybrid?
